The weather is getting hotter and Jin'er is getting older. Anyone who has ever had children knows that children about one year old are the most caring time, because although the little guy can't walk yet, he already has a walking slap. He doesn't like being held by others and insists on walking by himself, but they can't walk, so they can only bend down and lead them by the adults. He has to follow wherever he goes. He can exhaust people to death in one day.

But even so, Princess Pingyang took advantage of the time between Jin'er's sleep and made a summer dress for Li Yuan. She wanted to take time to deliver it to her father, but Li Xiu volunteered to enter the palace in the name of giving Li Yuan clothes.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the throne became increasingly stable, his defense against Li Yuan was getting lower and lower. In the past, only Li Xiu and his wife, and Pei Ji, could only see Li Yuan, but now some other old ministers can see Li Yuan, and there is no need to obtain Li Shimin's consent in advance. However, when entering Da'an Palace, these people need to go through a rigorous search to avoid someone carrying some things that should not be carried.

Li Xiu had a special identity and the guards of Da'an Palace knew him, so when he entered and left Da'an Palace, the guards meant it. Just searching him casually. As for the gifts that Princess Pingyang gave to Li Yuan, they dared not move. Not to mention them, even Li Shimin did not dare to move, so no one noticed that there was a letter in the clothes that Princess Pingyang gave to Li Yuan.

Li Xiu entered Da'an Palace smoothly, and then walked through the winding corridor on the water like the previous few times, and then met Li Yuan on a wooden platform. This place had become his Diaoyutai. Most of the time every day was spent here by Li Yuan, so when Li Xiu came to find him, he didn't have to go to other places at all. He would definitely see him when he came here.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xiu came here and bowed to Li Yuan deeply.

"Haha~, you're here just right. The fish under you always fish have become stings, and they don't want to take the bait. Our father-in-law and son-in-law will kill a few games today. Let me see if your chess power has improved?" Li Yuan immediately threw down his fishing rod and laughed.

Li Yuan was sent to Da'an Palace and could not go out. He usually had nothing to do except fishing. He could only play a few games of chess with him when Li Xiu or Pei Ji came to visit him. However, Li Xiu didn't know how to play Go, so he played chess with Li Yuan. The chess in the Tang Dynasty was different from later generations. Li Xiu made chess in later generations, so he could play chess in later generations, so he could play chess in later generations, so he could play a few games with Li Yuan. However, after playing a few times, Li Yuan's chess power increased greatly, and he could kill Li Xiu in a mess every time.

Li Xiu originally didn't want to be abused by Li Yuan again, but seeing that the other party was in high spirits, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only let someone take the chessboard. Both sides sat cross-legged at both ends of the chessboard, chatting while playing chess. At this time, Li Yuan took the lead and said, "Li Xiu, did you come today, Pingyang asked you to deliver things again?"

"Well~ Pingyang made a piece of clothing and asked me to send it to His Majesty!" Li Xiu said a little embarrassedly when he heard this. When he heard Li Yuan's words, he suddenly realized that he came to Li Yuan's place, either to deliver things for Princess Pingyang or to accompany Pei Ji. Apart from this, it seems that he had never come on his own initiative.

"Haha, Ping Yang is still interested, but she has children now and must be very busy in normal times. She has made a lot of clothes for me before, which is enough for me to wear for several years, so there is no need to make clothes for me anymore. It is better to rest more often and don't get tired of the child!" Li Yuan did not mean to blame Li Xiu, but instead reminded him with a gentle look on his face.

"Thank you for your concern. I will definitely tell Xiuning when I go back!" Li Xiu nodded at this time.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he immediately let everyone around him retreat. He was Li Yuan's son-in-law and half of the master here, so although the palace maids and eunuchs around him hesitated for a while, he finally retreated.

Seeing that only he and Li Yuan were left around him, Li Xiu picked up the tray with clothes next to him and handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, this is the clothes Xiuning made for you. Please give it a try to see if it fits?"

Although Li Yuan was surprised to see Li Xiu making decisions and letting everyone around him retreat, he did not stop him. At this time, he saw that Li Xiu actually asked him to try on the clothes on the spot, which made him feel even more strange. However, he did not speak, but took the tray and put it in front of him, and then he was about to pick up the clothes.

However, just as Li Yuan opened the folded clothes, he immediately saw a letter hidden in the clothes. When he saw the four words "Father and Emperor's Lord" on the letter, Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble and tears suddenly burst out, because he recognized it at a glance. The words on the letter were written by his son Li Yuanji.

Seeing this letter from his son who was far away in America, Li Yuan was trembling with excitement, and a few drops of tears fell, and finally fell on the envelope. After a while, Li Yuan stretched out his trembling hands and then tore open the envelope.

Li Xiu sat opposite Li Yuan and could not see the content on the letter at all. However, he found that the letter only had two pieces of paper, and it seemed that there were not much content. When Li Yuan saw the handwriting on the letter, he became even more excited and his body trembled even harder. However, after reading the paragraph, he began to calm down slowly. Finally, when he finished reading the letter, his face became very calm. If it weren't for the tears on his face, no one would have guessed that he had just shed tears.

Li Yuan held the letter and pondered for a while, and finally suddenly kneaded the letter paper and the envelope, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it. Then he suddenly raised his neck and swallowed the letter directly. Now, no one else except him knew the contents of the letter.

"Li Xiu, thank you for sending Yuan Ji's letter, but if he has any more letters in the future, you can destroy them directly. There is no need to send them to me again!" Li Yuan said to Li Xiu with a calm expression.

"This..." Li Xiu didn't expect that Li Yuan would react like this after reading the letter. However, since Li Yuan said that, he couldn't refuse. After all, he had to take a lot of risks to help Li Yuanji pass the letter, so he finally nodded and said, "Yes, I obey the order!"

"Okay, don't disturb our chess mood because of these mundane things. I'm so arrogant, so I'm welcome to be the first shot!" Li Yuan had recovered from his calmness at this time, and the tears on his face were also dried up. It seemed that nothing happened just now.

When Li Xiu saw that Li Yuan was still in the mood to play chess after reading the letter, he couldn't help but admire Li Yuan's strong psychological quality, and he could only cheer up and play chess with Li Yuan.

Although Li Xiu taught Li Yuan, his chess skills were very average. After Li Yuan became familiar with the rules of the new chess, he quickly threw Li Xiu out a big piece. Every time he played chess, Li Xiu lost a lot.

But today it was also strange. Li Yuan and Li Xiu played three games in a row, but they lost more than they won. Li Xiu also keenly discovered that Li Yuan seemed a little absent-minded when playing chess. It seemed that he did not care at all about Li Yuanji's letter. This also made Li Xiu a little curious about the content in the letter, and even regretted why he didn't peek at it before?

Not only did Li Yuan seem a little absent-minded, but he was also a little impatient when playing chess. Not only did he make a few wrong moves, but he even made a low-level mistake like Ma Zutian once or twice. Finally, Li Yuan simply pushed the chessboard and stood up and said, "Forget it, I am not in the state today, and I will fight with you later!"

"I'm leaving, Your Majesty should take care of you!" Li Xiu also felt that playing the chess today was awkward. He also said goodbye when he heard Li Yuan's words. Li Yuan did not try to keep him. After Li Xiu left Li Yuan's sight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Li Xiu regretted not having a peek at Li Yuanji's letter, but now he thinks about it. It is definitely important to make Li Yuan, who is extremely cunning, become so impetuous. The things in the letter must be of great importance. If he reads the contents in the letter, he may not fall asleep tonight. Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling a little thankful, and the letter had been eaten by Li Yuan, so he was not worried about being known by Li Shimin, which made him feel relieved. Since receiving Li Yuanji's letter, he has been hesitating whether to hand it over to Li Yuan, and finally decided to help Li Yuanji. After all, this was a letter written to his father by a son who was far away from the world. Li Xiu really couldn't bear to destroy it, and now he has finally put down this burden completely.

A few days later, the martial law in Chang'an City was finally lifted, and the Western Turkic mission also came to Beijing to meet Li Shimin as soon as possible. Then news of the marriage between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic people came out, and the princess of the marriage was also chosen, and it was Li Daoli, the younger brother of Li Daoli.

However, as soon as the news of the marriage was confirmed, there was movement on Jie Li's side. A large army of Eastern Turks suddenly moved south and occupied Shazhou and Yangguan outside Yumen Pass. In this way, the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks was suddenly interrupted. If you want to send the marriage team to the Western Turks, you must pass through the blockade of Jie Li's army.

Faced with this situation, Li Shimin also expressed his concerns about the safety of the princess to the Western Turkic mission, and then asked the Western Turkic mission to remove Jie Li's threat before he could send the princess to the Western Turkic marriage. Faced with this situation, the Western Turkic mission was helpless. Finally, Jie Li began to put pressure on Tongguye Ye, and Tongguye Ye did not want to really start a war with Jie Li. As a result, the marriage ended in vain under Jie Li's intervention.
